I got the email around 3:30, and it just said that I was accepted- didn’t get any notif about a waitlist prior.

Just got accepted to Laurier! I will be declining it and accepting UofT. I'm excited that this means a spot will open up for someone else

That makes a lot of sense! I honestly think that although they may have a plan, they really won’t be able to say if it will definitely be in person- just because of how quickly things have been changing with the pandemic. This is definitely a stressful time to be making big career/school decisions. I wish you all the best!

I think it’s quite unclear whether school will be fully remote- it depends on how the variants affect us, rates of vaccinations etc. I would assume that regardless, most social work placements will be at least partly in person. If you’ve landed a FT job you’re really excited about, I see no harm in deferring your acceptance to UofT. More work experience in the field is always good- and is a great opportunity to clarify your career interests. That way you may have a better idea of what you want to get out of your masters when you do get it.

Anyone know how many applicants there were this year for Laurier 2 year?

Looks like there is one! Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1071656829976018/?notif_id=1618329592390315&notif_t=group_r2j_approved&ref=notif Let me know if it works.

890 for 140 spots

My friend heard back from Laurier last year on April 15th (2 year). So I don’t think they’re running late yet or anything!

True. These people went to UofT which I know is known to be more “clinical”. I’m sure experiences vary person to person though!

If you’re set on practicing therapy, the MA will better prepare you. I have two friends who completed their MSWs and both said it did not prepare them well to practice psychotherapy. If you’re interested in a variety of positions, then an MSW is def more generalizable and opens up more doors!

This is BRUTAL! Wow

When are we expecting Laurier two-year decisions?

Agree. There should really be interviews for social work imo.

Could be today too? no?

To clarify- do we still only know of ONE person who received a decision for the UofT 2 year? (the person on the other forum who was rejected last week?)
